I upgraded a 16.04 Ubuntu server to 22.04. Migration to 18.04 & 20.04 worked well. The upgrade to 22.04 broke my DNS config. I found a lot of tutorials to configure the whole network using netplan ... but I don't feel very confortable with them (I'm afraid to break everything). I have a lot of network interfaces on the server but nothing in /etc/netplan. I wonder if I have to create a netplan file with all the network interfaces or just the broken one.
Here is the result of 'nmcli device show' command:

IP6.ROUTE[1]: dst = ::1/128, nh = ::, mt = 256The problem is the enp2s0f0 device has no DNS defined. My questions are:
- how to add my DNS records safely? Maybe there's a clean solution easier than netplan. Clean excludes hacking files generated by generated by resolvconf like /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head
- If I have to create all interfaces in the file, is there a way to create a netplan file from current settings to reduce the risk of errors?
PS: I do not know if it is important but systemd-resolve is not installed on the machine and /etc/resolv.conf.d contains reference to it:
# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
# 127.0.0.53 is the systemd-resolved stub resolver.
# run "systemd-resolve --status" to see details about the actual nameservers.
nameserver 127.0.0.53

I finally found the solution here:
In case the link die in the future: Create a file:
sudo mkdir /etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d/
sudo nano /etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d/dns_servers.confAdd my dns in this file:
[Resolve]
DNS=8.8.8.8 1.1.1.1Then restart systemd-resolved
sudo systemctl restart systemd-resolvedIt works even after reboot :-)
PS : No idea why my DNS configuration was lost during the upgrade from 20.04 to 22.04.
